Actually, it's generally accepted as the reverse. In drag racing, dumping the clutch at a high RPM or having a high RPM stall torque convertor means that you will be in the HP part of your powerband for most of the track... TOrque not really being a factor.

Whereas on a circuit, shifting too often upsets the car's…

You get a pass because... Hydrogen has no future.
Carry on.

That's apples to oranges. They're nothing as a company in size or scale next to GM, make reasonable comparisons please.

While I'm at it:

We build the best engines in industry. Get over it.

You're clueless aren't you? You know the first people to make over 190 horse with a four cylinder in a production car? General Motors, 1989, Quad 4 195 hp.

G8 GT.

You're talking way too much sense for the majority of people here, my friend.

HP/L is meaningless. BSFC is the measure of efficiency, not HP/L, and you're damn right we want torque!

lmao at those power levels, this is General Motors, not Toyota, our 2.0t makes 270 not even trying and the 2.5 liter N/A base engine makes 195.

You clearly never drove one hard.

Here's my helpful hint:
Don't listen to anyone's helpful hints. Shit designed by committee is poorly designed.

S2000 wins. It's the only remotely quick thing in the group, and I can't stand slow cars.

As a mechanic, long before a wheel bearing generates enough heat to catch fire (hard to do being as it's metal and there isn't much flammable around it anyways) it's going to make some super-gnarly noises.
The passengers or driver should notice it and complain a long time ago. That's crazy if it does actually happen..…

The idea that for your convenience you can impede and interfere with the vast majority of the traveling population's convenience (in cars) is ridiculous.

Dude, I just read all four of your excellent posts on muscle cars vs other vintage cars, and you're completely right.

The Porsches and BMWs were cool... I'm not sure I'd lump the VWs in with "some of the coolest racing cars in the world" though.

Contrary to popular belief and intelligent methods of thinking*
